Suppress Model

Overview

This video demonstrates the Suppress Model command in Nitro-CELL, which suppresses a component within a Creo assembly. Suppressing a component temporarily removes it from the assembly without deleting it, making it invisible in the graphics window and excluded from mass properties and other calculations. This is useful for creating assembly configurations, simplifying complex assemblies for analysis, or temporarily removing components during automated workflows. The video shows how to specify the component to suppress, execute the command, and verify the component is suppressed in the assembly tree.

Key Steps

1. Open the assembly containing the component to suppress
2. Enter the Suppress Model command with the component name
3. Execute the command to suppress the component in the assembly
4. Verify the component shows as suppressed in the assembly tree
5. Save the assembly to persist the suppressed state

Tips

• Suppressed components can be resumed later without losing placement information
• Use Suppress to create lightweight assembly configurations for different use cases
• Combine with wildcard variants to suppress multiple components at once
